Is this case too big for the Dr. Pimple Popper team?
![]() |
Dr. Pimple Popper often features many fascinating dermatological cases. But the patients don’t always have growths that resemble vegetables. In a Season 8 episode, Dr Lee tackles a patient with cylindromas on her head that bear a striking resemblance to cauliflower.
Dr. Pimple Popper viewers really appreciate the compassion and respect that Dr. Sandra Lee shows to each and every patient. When a person shows up at her practice, they know they’re in excellent hands.
But what will happen when a patient named Elizabeth with a cauliflower-like growth shows up at Dr. Lee’s practice? In the episode, the doctor describes the condition as a “cylindroma.”
According to the National Library of Medicine, cylindromas are “appendage tumors of uncertain histogenesis. They may occur as solitary or multiple lesions. In case of multiple lesions numerous small papules and/or large dome-shaped nodules are present on the scalp like a turban, hence the name turban tumor.”
They definitely don’t sound like much fun.
The official TLC Twitter account teased a clip of the episode to show viewers what Dr. Lee is up against here.
“These head masses have been growing for over 50 years” the tweet reads. “Can #DrPimplePopper solve the worst case of extensive cylindromas she’s ever seen?”
